[Sca-cooks] Tomatoes in German herbal?

[johnna holloway]

Apples are Old World with the first apple orchards being planted in
Massachusetts prior to 1625 by early colonists.
See The Book of Apples by Morgan and Richards. 1993.
Best early tomato history that is easily accessible is
still that done by Andrew Smith in The Tomato in America.
